This companion piece to Life After Life (bwl 69) follows Teddy Todd, bomber pilot in WW II. Atkinson loves playing with time, alternate lives, the what-ifs and might-have-beens. The chapters are not arranged chronologically, so we are often aware of what will happen before we discover what has gone before. Amazing writing - especially descriptions of Bomber Command's missions over Germany. A perceptive, thought-provoking novel about the fall of man and the indelible legacy of war.
